I bought this .25 cal Taipan Slash Tactical semi-auto airgun with the shorter 420mm barrel from Talon Tunes recently. I used to have a couple of semi-auto Huben K1s and Leshiy2s but had never owned a Taipan product before. I've sold my other airguns over the past year and rarely even shoot targets anymore. But airgun technology still fascinates me and the Slash is a major release in the semi-auto airgun market.
I ran some velocity and fpe performance tests on it with 9 kinds of pellets and 6 kinds of slugs (29, 32 , 34, 42, 46 & 48 grain) at low, medium and high regulator pressures. Those test results, along with some initial test results and pictures from a few other new owners of .22 cal Slash, are posted in a recent Taipan Slash tuning report discussion thread in the PCP Airgun forum.
I'll include the opened boxes of slugs which I used for testing since I have no further use for them. The sale also includes 2 extra pellet magazines (3 altogether, plus the slug magazine) and a threaded barrel adapter. Plus all of the items shown in the attached pictures, including the test target sent by Talon Tunes, a manual, spare O-rings, and the rubber Talon Tunes work mat, in the original shipping box.
The regulator pressure gauge is currently installed. I can remove it for you and reinsert the plug if you want. But if you plan to check regulator pressures against pellet & slug velocities when you get the airgun it would be easier if I left it installed for you. One of the attached pictures also shows the regulator pressure adjustment tool mounted in the back plate of the regulator.
Nothing was changed on the airgun. I just ran a couple of dozen shots at different regulator pressures for each type of ammo to get the velocities and calculate the fpe.
My original cost was $2,400 for the Slash, $125 for the 2 extra pellet magazines, about $75 for threaded barrel end and another $100+ for the slugs, a total of about $2,700.
The sale price is $2,050 via PayPal and that price includes shipping within the lower 48 states.
If you like Taipan products and have been considering whether to buy a Taipan Slash Tactical with the 420mm barrel then this is the best deal you're likely to see on one for a while. Especially since it already includes a nice variety of .249 diameter slugs from H&N, NSA, Griffin and AVS which most people wouldn't already own in 0.249 diameter. My technical curiosity about the Slash has been satisfied and I already got my money's worth of satisfaction by being one of the first to post power curve results for the shorter .25 version. It is a fine semi-auto airgun that will be a serious competitor in the semi-auto airgun market.
The first solid offer to buy gets it. No trades.
Thanks for reading through this long ad.
